We went shopping. I am assuming we walked around the city, but my diary only talks about shopping. So, I will tell you that I bought a cotton dress, slit up the side and ten inches above the knees. It was blue with gold trim. I bought another dress too, though I do not remember that one and I bought a belt which I had until a few years ago. And that is all I wrote about the day.
I do remember having wonderful meals up on the roof at the restaurant. Having spent two years working in the Greektown area of Detroit, I was enthused to be eating Greek food in Greece.
My expenses to day were high because I also purchased a ticket for another boat ride. Total today is $99.23.
Moussaka, spanakopita, stiffado, baklava - my mouth's watering at the the thought of Greek food!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of pastitsio since I started writing about Greece. Fortunately, even if I don't feel like cooking, there is a great Greek restaurant with shouting distance of my home.
DeleteGreece was cheap when I was there (1979). I think our room was about $6/night, right on the water on the isle of Corfu. We went to the same taverna every evening, and the owner/Cook brought us into the kitchen (!), lifted the lids and let us point to what we wanted. Ten-cent shots of ouzo!
ReplyDeleteThe owner of the hotel was wonderful. He asked us to keep in touch, which I never did. Other than wine, we were not much for drinking.
DeleteI love enter from old diaries. It gives us anther take on history.

I went to a Greek restaurant here and they had a different take on the "come into the kitchen" idea, with a bar with everything on/in it that was available that night. Only time I ever ate goat. I loved Greece and discovered skordalia in Athens.
ReplyDeleteAt the hospital we had several techs from the Philippines. When we would have pot lucks, they often brought goat. Something I have never made.
DeleteI had to remember your trip was back in 1969, when I saw 10 inches above the knee, I had to remember mini skirts, etc., were the fashion back then :)
